to bleed you need to have fluid be forced in to the lines and just back off the fittings at the cylinders till no air comes out. and my cylinders in the trunk are the torpedos they yare 1/4 in thinker then the competion cylinders i have at the weel so like 5in of lift to the bigger cylinder will be like 6.25 at the wheels.
thanks for comments been planning on this for a very long time.

i see i see, just like bleeding your brakes, hit it up a few times, hold the pressure, then open the line a lil bit, bad ass

i dont see why people keep sayin accumulators. are they trying to say to run them on the hybrid setup or just run a reg hydraulic setup and just use accumulators cause it would ride the same.

I love these hybrid ride there always ultra creative. So keep us posted.

Now i have a question. You said you were going to have some type of forced fluid oil resivor to top off the system with oil right? Is that system always going to be in your ride? If not i would recommend finding someway of making it a perment part of the system, unless this is going on a trailor queen..

Just speaking from experience.. i have a accumulated juice setup and since your strokes will be constently moving up and down when your driving like mine does its going to leak fluid from the seals all the time and your going to need to be constently toping it off. Its not alot of leak typicaly but as the miles go up the seals break down and without a tank with extra volume it wouldnt take much leakage before you could get lift anymore.

Anyways just food for thought.

Cant wait to see it done.

at first im not going to have the refill tank as part of the ride but if it gets bad i put it in. and as for driving its my daily but im in college so i dont dive far. And i know i could have gone regular hydro with accumaltors but want to try this. thxs for comments everyone

The second? compact in MT had a setup similar. Derek Kordower and Chris Wattier did a similar setup to Jeremy Smalls grey integra in phx az. Worked great. I would recommend running tubing connecting the upper beam and lower beam between your cylinder/bag setup. Depending on the cylinders it may bend those tubes without it.
